Merlynna: Hiye

Elvin Archor: in my days as ive traveled through my life
Elvin Archor: ive noticed as im sure u have
Elvin Archor: an encroaching darkness
Elvin Archor: a tainted world
Elvin Archor: since i saw the ways of old fade
Elvin Archor: i vowed to never let it die
Elvin Archor: in all my efforts and business
Elvin Archor: ive always been honest
Elvin Archor: just
Elvin Archor: fair
Elvin Archor: and i do it to the best of my ability
Elvin Archor: ive noticed in recent days
Elvin Archor: that there is a lack of leadership in our direct lands
Elvin Archor: and i feel it is a duty of mine, due to the public office i already hold
Elvin Archor: to bring that sense
Elvin Archor: ive talked with Iron about the devided lands
Elvin Archor: and since ive always inforced only good honest members for ED
Elvin Archor: i would trust any one of them
Elvin Archor: so due to our size i am planning to bring back the virtues in
Elvin Archor: Luna, Skara, and Help tame Umbra
Elvin Archor: we would like to be able to keep a eye on Doom

Merlynna: I am confused, sir.

Elvin Archor: so i would like to announce my candidacy
Elvin Archor: for Governor of Malas

Joylah: *lifts a slender brow mildly*

Dragon Edge: We don't have any control Of Malas

Elvin Archor: and Skara if it would be allowed by the council
Elvin Archor: i can give u my work
Elvin Archor: word

Galen: Depending on who you ask...Malas is either a colony of the Crown, or an independent state.
Galen: So we really don't have anything to do with that either way....

Elvin Archor: well then
Elvin Archor: im declaring the Governor of Malas
Elvin Archor: then

Merlynna: *looks kinda stunned*

Galen: There was a government called the Malas Confederation. Then recently,

Jackson: I thought you were the Governer of Moonglow sir.

Elvin Archor: if u who me?
Elvin Archor: who me?

Merlynna: Didn't someone else Proclaim that Malas Title a while back?

Galen: some fellow whose name I forget, but he's part of the government, higher up,
Galen: called Malas a colony of Britannia.

Buzz Aldridge: It is still officially
Buzz Aldridge: held by Lady Wysteria

Elvin Archor: was not looking for the council position
Elvin Archor: of council
Elvin Archor: only Mayor

Buzz Aldridge: I see...

Elvin Archor: i like working with the people
Elvin Archor: i want to repopulate these cities

Galen: A suggestion if I might?

Elvin Archor: and bring patriotism to our world again
Elvin Archor: plz

Galen: The High Council does NOT control the local governments....However,

Joylah: Obviously

Galen: because we are prominent people in our communities,

Galen: the local governments find it convenient to work with us.
Galen: So, given that.....What I suggest is that

Rick: Run for the office and let the people vote.

Galen: you let us settle the matter of the 8th Seat first.....Then whomever occupies it,
Galen: can assist you or whomever in setting up a local government there?
Galen: It's the reverse of how it'd have worked years ago, I know.
Galen: But times have changed.

Buzz Aldridge: *nods*

Galen: Does that sound good, Elvin?

Elvin Archor: yes

Galen: Thank you.

Elvin Archor: so for clerification

Elvin Archor: oh nvm
